Wacker Neuson ET90 juddery tracking

[gefoster]

I'm looking at purchasing a Wacker Neuson Et90. I went to look at one the other day and found the tracking quite juddery, speaking to a neighbour who operates them daily and he reckons it's a common problem with them, or Neusons in general !? I've only heard good things about them up until now and can't find any other info on this. Has anyone else had this experience or can shed any light on the matter!? Thanks

The et90 is my favourite 8t class machine the tracking on them is quite sharp. I've not heard of them having juddery tracking though, I did know of one that had a few electrical gremlins but nothing much

By juddery do you mean it tracked and shook the machine?

If so likely wrong pitch tracks fitted and or crap ones

Can be juddery if they’re too tight.

Yes, the machine would judder as you track. That makes sense, although the guy I was speaking to reckoned he'd had it with 5 or 6 different machines, seems unlikely they've all had their tracks setup wrong...

Some diggers just don’t track nice and some
Are super smooth, Volvo 13 tonne springs to mind, it’s like gliding on water .

Possible has a poor track fitted , wrong pitch or pad profile

Possibly, but it’s easy enough to check.
